Do Good Work in World
Those to whom a commonplace
appears to be extraordinary are
rare, but they are precious, since
they, and they alone have built up
our minds. They are the creators
of human intelligence, the wide-
eyed individuals who point out to
the mass of mankind what has been
accepted as a matter of routine.
They are the poets, religious lead-
ers, story tellers, philosophers, the-
ologians, artists, scientists, inven-
tors. Commonly unnoticed things ex-
cite a strange and compelling curi-
osity in them, and each new ques-
tion sets them on a fresh quest.
They see where others are blind,
hear where others are deaf. They
form the noble band of wonderers.
—James Harvey Robinson.
Earth Not Loring Weight
When coal or other material is
mined from the earth the actual
weight of the earth la not altered.
No such change could be effected
unless the gas and smoke into
which the coal is changed in com-
bustion escaped entirely from the
atmosphere and passed out into
apace. Thia does not occur. Al-
though the weight of the earth as
a whole is not, altered by mining
operations, there la no doubt that
the distribution of weight at the
earth's surface is changed.
Franking Privilege
The privilege of sending and re-
ceiving mail free of postage was
once enjoyed by the President of
the United States, vice president,
heads of departments, senators and
representatives, and other officials
of the government during their offi-
cial terms. For a time all former
presidents and widows of former
presidents also had thia right, but
by an act of 1873 the privilege was
abolished. By later acts it was
conferred on all officers of the gov-
ernment in the case of official cor-
respondence. In 1895 members of
congress were allowed this privilege
in their official correspondence.

Fortified
One Sunday morning a southern
pastor noticed a new attendant at
the services.
When the meeting was over the
preacher made it his business to
speak to the newcomer.'*
“Rastus,” he said, “this is the
first time I have seen you at church
for a long time. Tm mighty glad
to see you here.”
“I had ro come,” replied Rastua,
“I needs strengthening I’se got a
Job whitewashin* a chicken coop
and buildin' a fence around a water-
melon patch.”

Mutt Not Be Separated
Faraday, the great chemist,
learned a lesson in boyhood by a
very childish experience. As a lit-
tle lad, humbly earning his bread
selling newspapers in the streets,
he was waiting outside tfite office of
an Edinburgh paper for the morn-
ing issue, and thrust his head and
arms through the railings of the
iron gate. He was a born metaphy-
sician and began to speculate on
which side of the railings he wax
“My head and hands are on one
side,” he said to himself, “and my
heart and body are on the other.”
The gate was opened hastily before
he could disengage himself, and
the wrench he received taught him,
as he said in after life, that all
true work required head and heart
and hands to be on the same side.

Widatpr^ad Belief in
Hortethoe as Talisman
The horseshoe is one of the very
oldest talismans for wooing good
fortune that existx The belief in
its efficacy is held almost all over
the world, and has been present
Since the dawn Of history. You find
it in Egypt and nailed to the thresh-
old of, the felt and wicker wigwams
of the nomads of Turkestan.
In medieval England, especially in
the south west, horseshoes were of-
ten nailed on church doors to keep
out evil spirits and witches. There
used to be two huge ones on the
south door of the parish church of
Ashby-Foville, in Leicestershire,
says the Family Herald.
There are records of a number of
horseshoes having been nailed up
for centuries on the gates of Oak-
ham castle, in Rutland, which was
built by Wakelip de Ferrara, son of
the first earl. Every nobleman visit-
ing it was made to forfeit a shoe
of the horse on which he rode or
pay a forfeit of money. Quite, a
number endured the inconvenience
of parting with a shoe rather than
pay the small sum.
Probably the oldest continuous
display of a horseshoe for luck to
be found in Britain is the case of a
shoe nailed up at Horseshoe corner,
one was cast by the horse of John
of Gaunt, when he was riding
through the streets nearly six hun-
dred years ago.
The more nails in a “found” horse-
shoe the greater the luck.
Poet’s Odd Exper ience
There is an instance recorded
some time ago, of the late poet
James Whitcomb Riley's experience,
when some strange impulse drew
him out of bed and prompted him
to write his poem “Bereaved," the
simple story of the death of a little
child. At the time, Riley had no
knowledge that the child of any one
in whom he was interested was even
seriously ill. He could not imagine
why this insistent thought should in the city of Landaster,
have comp to him. But In his mail---------- «-—
a few days later came a letter from
his old friend Bill Nye announc-
ing the death of one of his children
on the very night that the strange
call to write had come to the poet
Mohammedan Legend
The al borak was a marvelous an-
imal of surpassing swiftness on
which Mohammed is said to have
made a nocturnal Journey from the
temple at Mecca to Jerusalem and
thence to the seventh heaven, under
the guidance of the angel Gabriel
Its eyes were like stars, and its
body was resplendent with precious
stones. It had the wings of an
eagle, and a human face with the
cheeks of a horse. According to Mo-
hammedan faith the al borak is one
to
aa important factor in the success of
our campaign.
“These reports have been ably
and accurately reported by Miss
Georgia Fiaher.
“Resolved that these resolutions be
read before the congregation at the
service at the close of this
. „ i (Sunday night,)
campaign (Sunday Night) and a

Wilde Well Aware of
Failing of Humanity
Among other amusing stories in
his “Memoirs and Adventures,” Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle relates this
characteristic story fold him by Os-
car Wilde.
“We were discussing the cynical
maxim that the good fortune of our
friends made us dicontented. *The
devil,’ said Wilde, *was once cross-
ing the Libyan desert, and h‘e came
upon a spot where a number of
small fiends were tormenting a holy
hermit The sainted man easily
shook off their evil suggestions. The
devil watched their failure and then
he stepped forward to give them a
lesson. "What you do Is too crude,”
said he. “Permit me for one mo-
ment” With that he whispered to
the holy man, “Yodr brother hast
Just been made bishop of Alex-
andria.” A scowl of malignant
jealousy at once clouded the serene
Dice of the hermit. “That” said
the devil to his imps, “is the sort of
thing which I should recom-
mend.” ’ ”

Illinois is somewhat similar to the
Ruth situation in baseball. 4tog0aa*(
<A Grange in football is just like

endowed with many natural football'

“What’s the time, old man?”
Rogers pulled out his watch and,
